Philips Hue bulbs and lamps are the best smart lights around, but they’re usually some of the most expensive. That’s not always the case though, and right now Amazon is holding a secret sale that brings Philips Hue bundles down to record-low prices.
If you’ve been thinking about adding Philips Hue lights to your home but have always been put off by the price, there are some particularly great offers on starter kits, which include several bulbs, a programmable Philips Hue Smart Button, and the Philips Hue Bridge to connect them all together.
For example, if you want to start in a room with spotlights, the Philips Hue GU10 Starter Kit is now just £101.99 (was £140.40) at Amazon – the cheapest it’s ever been. Want bayonet bulbs instead? Amazon has you covered with the Philips Hue B22 Starter Kit on sale for £81.50 (was £103.23). That’s its lowest price this year.

You can use Philips Hue bulbs via Bluetooth, but the Bridge is necessary to get the most out of them. This little device plugs into your router, and creates a wireless mesh network that links all your Hue bulbs, sensors, and switches to each other so they work together quickly and seamlessly.
All of these are Philips Hue White & Colour Ambiance bulbs, which you can set to warm, neutral or cool light, or thousands of different RGB colors.
You can use the Philips Hue app to create automations that will trigger then to turn on or off, or shift color when a certain event happens, set schedules, and create ‘scenes’ that will apply the same lighting effect to a whole room or area.
The Philips Hue app makes it all very straightforward, and even includes a tool that uses AI to create custom ‘scenes’ based on spoken commands. For example, you could tell it to make a scene for a horror movie night, or a calming tropical sunset, and it will do exactly that. It’s a lot of fun, and you’ll have it all up and running in no time.
